Imagine what it's like to run this race for the first time, not really knowing anything about the ra ce…AND being in second place so people along the way aren't even set up yet.Todays' guest had just that experience, Chri finished in 4 days, 19 hours and 58 minutes!

This is the best "why" i've ever heard. Andy talks about what it's like to "take orders" from a veteran who had a goal to ensure he finished Vol State - and he did. You can learn a lot just from listening to this call.

You can find out more about Andy's ventures as an RD at A1 Ultra Events – Premier FloridaTrail Running Races

Listen to the joy in Anglea's voice as she discusses the trials and tribulations of her incomplete 2023 run and then her 2025 redemption Run! It's funny and heartwarming.

Richard's race discussion is almost as mesmerizing as his accent. Enjoy his recounting, especially about the "mad dogs for next 40 miles".

In this episode Jan (The Meat Wagon Lady) gives us tips and tricks that you're not going to hear pretty much anywhere else. It's a composite of her vast experience and knowledge both as an endurance athlete (one who has done Vol State and been involved in it for many years) and as a coach.

Meet the Meat Wagon Lady as Season 2 (Memorable Moments) begins. This week she'll tell you all about her experience with Vol State and how she operates to help you get to the finish line. But there's more next week so tune in to both to find out what you really need to know!

After a long trek from Linden, you'll be surprised when you come upon "Tay's Stop and Flop"! Another Road Angel braved the podcast world to let you know you won't be alone.

One of the few Vol State folks that can easily be identified using just her first name, like Cher and Reba. We have our own Shenoa! Of course, you'll hear about her pack and who doesn't want to know what's in it? More importantly, though, Shenoa gives extremely useful tips on running your race and how to deal with things that come up. This one really is a "don't miss" episode.

This is a special event! We’ve had runners, crews, and road angels. Now we have our 2024 photographer!

I think everyone know the great photos she took in 2024 and hopefully, she'll be back. But you can listen to her tell us how she came to photographing ultras and especially Vol State and hear her talk about some of the special shots she got.

Recording this interview made me feel like I was back out there on the course again. These two funny and dedicated Road Angels will get your gratitude and enthusiasm pumping like never before. I can't wait to meet them in person. I know you'll love this episode.
